Nowadays, more and more parents attach importance to their children's education. How to help their children practice calligraphy is also a problem that many parents attach importance to, because we also know that writing beautiful handwriting can not only make children get extra points in their studies, improve their enthusiasm for learning, but also add luster to their future lives. So how can parents help their children practice calligraphy since childhood, and how can they master their own calligraphy skills or writing methods and let them write beautiful words? Below, I will share with you:
First: how to let children master the foundation of practicing calligraphy from an early age?
As we all know, children are at a stage of development since childhood, so parents should be scientific and formal in tutoring their children to practice calligraphy, and they should not blindly guide them at will. We should know that in the development stage, children's thoughts, personalities, behaviors, habits and abilities have great plasticity, which is the best time to learn and practice calligraphy. Seize this opportunity, let children lay a good foundation for practicing calligraphy from an early age, so as to gradually improve their writing level. Once they learn it, they will benefit for life.
The question is: how to make children have a solid writing foundation in college? Why do parents buy copybooks for their children since childhood, and their children's handwriting still hasn't improved?
Many parents buy copybooks for their children to practice and paste from childhood. After they finished writing the copybook they bought, the child's handwriting still didn't improve. Our conclusion is that when children practice calligraphy, they simply don't master the correct writing methods and the structural rules of writing. Without mastering the rhythm of practicing calligraphy, we should know that the writing action should have rhythm, that is, the rhythm of traditional culture and speed. In addition, if you write well, the writing action should be symmetrical, stretched and clear. This mainly means that the action spacing of structural collocation should be consistent, and the action of skimming is long arc, horizontal, vertical, skimming, pinching long, pointing, hooking, lifting and folding short.
To sum up, the criteria for writing a good word are: rhythm, brushwork, strength, symmetry, stretch and clarity. Therefore, in order for children to practice calligraphy, they must have their own writing habits, and their writing should be regular and rhythmic.
Second, accurately understand the "stroke" and "strength" of beginners' calligraphy practice.
Brush strokes and strength are mainly in the concept of brush calligraphy, which is "attacking from all sides" and "penetrating the back of the paper". The "strength" in calligraphy is certainly not brute force. In hard pen calligraphy, the pen tip is understood as the pen tip, and the original meaning of force is the force in the physical concept. The pen tip that really writes well is smooth and flexible; Strength can be understood as grasping the elasticity of the pen tip, paying attention to the weight and making the handwriting fresh and vivid; There is also the meaning of "standing", which means that the writing action is standardized (horizontal and vertical), and the written words are stable and correct. Only when you stand up like a human being can you have spirit.
Third: cultivate children's interest in practicing calligraphy and control time!
Parents should always give their children some encouragement when they are tutoring their children when they are writing. For example, if their writing is better than before, what can parents say? If the child's writing is insufficient, then help analyze and guide. Practicing tools, papers and formats can also enhance children's learning fun.
Fourth, children's writing practice time should not be too long.
Considering the age characteristics of children, it is not appropriate to practice calligraphy for too long, and it is appropriate to wait for 20-30 minutes. Children who want to continue practicing calligraphy for a while can extend the time appropriately, but don't exceed too long!
